Ivan and Murph,=20 Ivan, I am truely happy that you have discovered the benefits of = the=20 NADH, my father has seem much looseing up of his legs and he has only= =20 begun to take the enzyme. He has seen minor improvement not nearly as= much as the NADH, but some with Coenzyme Q-10. If you would like to increase the benefits of the NADH, then go t= o your health food store and get a bottle of digestive enzymes, take them fo= r about 7 to 10 days, they will improve your bodys abilitiy to digest stored = nutrients and vitamins that your body has not been able to digest, plus it help= s the NADH to pass the blood brain barrier more effectively. MURPH, I believe you should tell your family that Parkinsons is n= ot always a genetic disorder, sometimes people just get deficient in certain vi= tamins and minerals that will bring on these symptoms. This is why a simple thing like an enzyme supplimention can relie= ve the=20 symptoms of parkinsons. The Genetic Foundations are ever too quick to= say=20 that everything is connected to a genetic script, this is just and er= a in=20 medicine, that we are going to have to live through.
